Juki, MO-50E, 3 or 4 Thread Serger, Lay In Tensions, Adjustable Differential Feed, Built In Rolled Hem, Automatic Lower Looper Threader, Retractable Upper Knife (MO-50E/UL)

The Juki MO-50E is a fantastic 3/4-thread serger! The adjustable differential feed and built-in rolled hem make it versatile, while the automatic looper threader saves time. Smooth, precise, and easy to use—highly recommended for both beginners and pros!

I love this little serger. This was my first sewing machine. I was doing mainly garments and it requires 90% of the sewing to be serged. I’ve never threaded a regular machine and I was able to thread this no problem given the detailed instructions. I’ve done quite a few sweaters and this thing does its job beautifully. I love that Juki makes great machines at any price point.

Easy to use and comes pre-threaded—perfect for a first serger! Many bad reviews stem from user error; take a little time to learn it, and you’ll love it. The included DVD is also available on YouTube.

Directions in manual were difficult to follow. I googled instructions. Excellently demonstrated threading the machine. This machine is really wonderful. Compared to my Bernina serger, this one is better! I love it!!!

I've been sewing for 50+ years. I have a Juki industrial sewing machine that I ADORE, so I figured this serger would be just as simple to use.I HAD a serger that I used until it simply fell apart. That serger took me 5 minutes tops to thread. This one? I just wasted 2 hours trying to thread this one. I figured operator error, but then nope. That lower looper horked up every time.First the latches and catches are extremely hard to put the threads through. The tension was really tight, even after I put everything on 0. The lower looper with the "auto threader' is an easy to miss, impossible to thread portion, and that's the one that matters. It would not catch. I tried so many times. The portion that holds the knife doesn't move out of the way, so you get to attempt to thread the needles around the knife. I'd rather be sewing, not wasting my time threading my serger.Enough is enough. I'm getting the air-threader serger. More money, way less stress on me.

I thought a serger a needless luxury and an unnecessary headache with 4 spools of thread. But the price was good and I'm a Juki fan and love a mechanical machine that has no beeps. I am loving this serger for a first one. I can thread it okay, but can take a few attempts before it's happy. This will not be my last serger. Sorry I waited. If you can afford it, go for an upgrade. But I do love Jukis.

I would like to start by saying that I am not being paid to write this review, nor did anyone solicit me to do so (other than the normal Amazon request). I am writing it because I appreciate hearing from other purchasers and want to pay it forward. I want to also say that this is my first serger. I have been sewing my whole life...my mother was a seamstress. She never had a serger, so I didn't think I needed one. But she didn't really sew knits...I find myself using them all the time. And, while my sewing machine has a knit stitch, I'm finding the serger SO much better!. This little machine works really well and didn't break the bank.As to some of the other comments, it does come with accessories! They are in the accessory drawer on the left side. If you can't find them, read your users manual. Also, it is not hard to thread. Yes, it is a little complicated, but watch the video and (again) read the users manual. Just like with a sewing machine, there are several steps -- for one needle and the bobbin. And, with 2 needles and 2 loopers (works like a bobbin but without the spool), there are several steps times 2. But none of them are really hard...just go slow and you'll get it. You can also tie your thread to the thread the machine came with. Then, don't try to pull the thread through, just start sewing. It will thread through perfectly. You will, of course, have to thread the needle itself, but that should go without saying.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Time will tell if it is well built -- seems to be -- and if it will work on all types of fabric. I've tried a few and so far so good!

Haven't had any problems with it so far. It's a nice serger. Love the functions.
